    Morning all.

    I've decided to postpone one of the jobs I was going to do today... I've renewed the library books online (thankfully I could, but its the last time :o ) so thats cut out a job which involved going more or less out of the way of all the other jobs :rolleyes: Best shift ourselves actually. Need to get quite a few bits and pieces sorted today. I'll catch up with you all later.

    Ok I'm up, only been up for 30 minutes and I'm stressed already :rotfl: We have nothing decent to eat in the house, I'm feeding the children chocolate for breakfast at the moment :rolleyes: So my first job is to do a nice long shopping list and send Mr G out before he goes to work at 1.30. I would take all three of them but DS can be a bit of a handful at times especially when he's out with both of his sisters. I also need him to lug some things up into the loft for me. Oh and also we made a pact that he'd bring the washing down, I'd sort it, wash it, fold it and iron whatever needed to be ironed and he'd take it back upstairs, but he seems hopeless at doing it! Now do I just give up or keep living in hope that he might do it? Also his putting away is taking it upstairs and just dumping it on the bed :mad:

    Ok and breath and destress!

    Morning all

    I'm planning to do some flying, somehow. DD2 gets the keys to her flat this afternoon. I've got two three-piece suites in the living room and they are piled high with boxes. There is a big box in the hallway that you have to sidle past. The upstairs landing is lined with boxes. Her bedroom is full of boxes. The little bedroom is full and the bed is covered in boxes. DS comes home tonight and I have to try to get to that bed and make it up.

    Apparently the boxes are going this afternoon and the furniture tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

    So, as I said, I will be trying to fly but it may be tomorrow afternoon before I can get to much.

    Meanwhile I'm still coughing and the catarrh is making me feel sick. At least the headache has gone.

    Oh, and I'm really not looking forward to her leaving home :( The boxes can go, but I don't want her to :(

    However, I did get the tree up on Saturday and I iced my cake yesterday.

    Off to catch up with posts. Hope everyone's OK.

    Nothing is wrong with pink lol (if you are a baby girl or a golfer!). Seriously I don't suit pink unless its a warm almost damson colour. My mum really suits it though with dark hair and dark eyes and her colouring. I am a warm autumn colours person lol (hazel hair and eyes). DH is blues, creams, greys, slates etc (bue eyes and blond hair) and DS is blues, creams, warm and cool colours (brown eyes, dark blond hair).......and of course PINK fairies suit pink of all shades!

    hugs Pollybear. You will miss DD2, but you can look forward to her visits :).
    Hope the move is not too stressful, don't worry about flying straight away as you cannot work miracles!
    Hope you feel better soon.
